OptimusSlime Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Has anyone been unable to get a seat who dosn’t have an ST and missed out in ballot or resale? Everyone I know in real life who wanted a ticket has managed to get one… Wonder if we truly need a 75k capacity stadium after all… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know in real life who wanted a ticket has managed to get one… Wonder if we truly need a 75k capacity stadium after all… I managed to get get one last night after refreshing the ticket page every minute for around 2-3 hours. And even then I had to click on the seat within 2-3 seconds. I missed out on a handful as I was too slow. I’d rather not have to do that every week tbh and I doubt I’ll be that lucky either. However, 3 of my friends and family cohort that I would go to the games with have all been unsuccessful in the ballot, unsuccessful in yesterday’s 10am queue and also couldn’t get any last night and this morning on resale despite trying the refreshing technique.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Yeah, I got one but I was very lucky. If I’d got onto the site 10 minutes later it would’ve been sold out. Have to get lucky the seat you click on isn’t in someone else’s basket as well, which is another shite feature of the system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrone Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I can't go to the Liverpool game but I'll be happy to help other members get a ticket if I can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFlat Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I ended up getting blocked by the site as a bot due to how often I was refreshing yesterday They then just closed access saying the 'event had ended'. Back on today, but still no joy. It's completely pot luck and fastest fingers first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Yeah, got the 'event has ended' sign yesterday, have been unable to get anything today after chasing 3 seperate seats. Folk getting a result near to where they wish to sit or even having a choice have been erm..extremely lucky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieDoor Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 At least it's somewhat in our own hands with the resale thing, if you can get on and keep refreshing that is, probably be harder for the Liverpool game, but probably easier than the Villa game after that apart from Man U, Man City etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toontimes Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Has anyone had issues trying to forward an adult match ticket to a member who is in a concessionary category (ie they are 69). You have to make a selection and when I choose “adult” I get an error message and when I choose “senior” it says I can only pick a more expensive category! Has to be an error but I don’t hold out much hope of getting any response from the box office on the phone and I already sent an email 4 days ago which has not been responded to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually my son’s ticket and at this rate it is going to have to be re-sold like mine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did exactly the same yesterday afternoon and got two in two separate goes. Although I was refreshing the page on and off from 1000 in the morning until after 1630. I got kicked off my laptop for being ‘a robot’ so moved onto my mobile which I actually found a bit quicker, that’s when I snagged the two seats. Before that I was getting beaten to the punch trying to manipulate the mouse. Bored on Teams calls today and out of curiosity I went back in and there were a few adult tickets popping up which were snapped up almost immediately.

Toontimes Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I put my ticket up for resale this evening thinking it might be made available straight away but it is still showing as resale requested so I am guessing someone has to flick a switch to make it available.

Would you usually have passed your ticket on to a pal prior to digital tickets, or would your seat usually have gone empty if you couldn’t make it ? Just curious if this re-sale is something people are now glad to have if they can’t make it, or just having to resort to it because you can’t just pass your ticket on.

But you can "just pass your ticket on" for ST's anyway, it maybe limited, but you can do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been unable to go for a couple of seasons and have been passing it on, so yes, to stay within the new rules (forward a max 10 matches) I am now having to resell half the tickets. As I Iet the person have it for free I will actually be better off (!) but that was not the point. At the end of the day I want to keep my ticket and want the seat to be occupied.

The category drop down is clearly to do with someone forwarding a concessionary ticket to an adult to ensure they pay the difference. It doesn’t want you to do it the other way around, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
